Pitman Manufacturing of Laconia was one of the largest hosiery manufacturers in the State in the 1800’s. In 1890 they built a track-side freight depot at 94 New Salem Street. The freight room was sold in the 1940’s and after several different owners, we purchased it in 1988. We did a first stage renovation and used it as an Antique Store until 2009. The second stage of renovations included the addition of a third bathroom, a state of the art heating and air conditioning system and a five-sided hickory dance floor which led to its next incarnation – Pitman’s Freight Room.
